I drove all the way back to the hotel in a daze, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. I had this weird feeling of displacement. It seemed like I should be pleased with the interview, since I’d apparently caught Jesse Cruz in a massive lie, not to mention a hell of a lot of criminal behavior. And if Petra was telling the truth, I’d also discovered a pretty huge miscarriage of justice. She was, after all, in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. That should have galvanized me, but instead I just felt … confused. Even if every word Petra had said was true, hell, even if you discounted the weird gaps in her explanation, there was something off about the woman, and it wasn’t just her rampant racism. Whenever she talked about werewolves, her eyes had smoldered with fevered hatred. Were they really the abominations she seemed to think they were? And how did any of this connect to Sam’s death? I felt like I’d gone one step forward and about five steps backward. Or maybe sideways.

In the hotel parking lot, I turned the engine off and just sat there, staring ahead. What was I supposed to do now? Confront Jesse? He’d obviously done something shady, but he seemed pretty determined not to tell me the truth, and there wasn’t a lot I could do to force his hand. It wasn’t like I could take this to the police, and given how involved this Dashiell was supposed to be, he probably already knew the whole story. Hell, maybe he was the one who’d issued the orders. If that were the case, trying to find him would only lead to—

A sharp knock hit my car window, about four inches from my face. I jumped, adrenaline exploding into my bloodstream, my hands reaching for weapons that I hadn’t brought. Beside the car, I saw a pretty girl in her early twenties with unnatural bright green eyes. I remembered those eyes. This was the woman who’d told Cruz I wasn’t human. She’d found me.

She made a little rolling motion with one finger, and I buzzed down the window. “Hi, I’m Scarlett,” she said with a professional smile. “And I think we should probably talk.”
